The one from 1977? "God save the queen / The fascist regime / They made you a moron" and so on? That's the beast. The Pistols allegedly got to No 1 35 years ago, but the results were fiddled so Rod Stewart sneaked in front and Her Majesty was not embarrassed. This time there's an online campaign to get the punks to the top of the chart.

John Lydon must be wetting himself. Now he can rain on another royal parade. Au contraire. The former Johnny Rotten has denounced the campaign as a "circus" that "totally undermines what the Sex Pistols stood for".
